Question

Write -1.64 as a fraction in simplest form

Answer 1

To write the following as a fraction, we will;

First write the decimal over 1

That is;

`(-1.64)/(1)`

Then multiply the numerator and the denominator by 100

`\frac{-1.64\text{ }*100}{1\text{ }*100}`
`(-164)/(100)`

Now, go ahead and reduce the fraction

`=-(41)/(25)`
`=\text{ -1}(16)/(25)`
